On the desolate land, two carriages were speeding rapidly.
"Looking for...god?" Upon hearing these two words, Hu Jia stayed where he was.
"Speaking of which, where is your Eastern God? How long will it take us to get there?" Chloe asked.
"Heaven can move freely, so I don't know where they are."
"I don't know? Then where are we going?"
"Although we can't find Heaven, there is a place that we can't escape from..." Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, "Let's go to Yaochi."
"Where is Yaochi again?"
"Kunlun Mountains."
It is difficult to find Tianting, but as long as you find the Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi, you can know the whereabouts of Tianting... Lin Qiye is very familiar with Yaochi.
"The Kunlun Mountains have reached the border of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, and further to the southwest is the Kingdom of Magadha... It will take at least more than a month to get there by carriage from Chang'an." Hu Jia said thoughtfully.
"It won't take that long." Chloe waved her hand, "We only have two carriages, and there is no army following us. They are lighter, and I will use the wind to bless the carriages and horses, which can at least shorten the time by half."
As Chloe finished speaking, everyone in the carriage felt their bodies become lighter. The entire carriage seemed to have no weight, and it moved forward rapidly with several horses galloping.
When Lin Qiye saw this, he was about to praise Chloe, but the next moment, the whole car began to tremble violently!
After a period of shaking, the carriage they were in seemed to be held up by an invisible hand and flew upwards. This sudden change directly frightened several fast horses. They stared blankly at their bodies gradually flying up into the clouds.
, somewhat panicked.
The strong wind from high altitude blew up the curtains on the carriage. Hu Jia lowered his head and looked down, his face turned pale slightly, and he retracted his head again.
"Are we...flying?"
"It has to be the Marquis." Lin Qiye smiled, "Now, we don't even have to go bumpy."
Wu Quan sat next to Lin Qiye. He stared at the carriage in front of him through the flying carriage door curtain, his lips pursed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
Half an hour later.
Two carriages slowly descended from the sky.
"vomit--!!"
"vomit--!!!"
As soon as the wheels touched the ground, several figures rushed out of the carriage like wind, hunched over and vomiting violently on the ground!
Gong Yangwan, Chloe, Hu Jia, Zhan Yuwu, Yan Zhong, Wu Quan... there was no color on the faces of the six of them, as if they were overdrafted, and they were so weak that they couldn't even straighten their waists.
Lin Qiye slowly came out of the carriage and looked at the neat six people in front of him. In a trance, he felt like he was dreaming about an exploration ship.
After only half an hour's flight, they couldn't bear it anymore. Except for Lin Qiye and Huo Qubing, everyone else was hit. Even the horses pulling the carriage fell to their knees and started foaming at the mouth.
Forget about others, even Wu Quan, a guy who has withstood the baptism of modern airplanes and ships, can't withstand this kind of torture.
But come to think of it, using the [Controller Emperor] to fly on a carriage is not a real airplane after all. Not to mention anything else, the material and shape of the carriage alone are not enough to support their high-speed and stable flight in the air for such a long time.
, is already the limit.
Huo Qubing slowly got off the carriage in front, glanced calmly at the weak people not far away, turned and walked towards the bushes on the other side... A moment later, another sound of vomiting came from it.
Lin Qiye:......
Everyone rested on the ground for a long time and finally regained some of their vitality. Yan Zhong tremblingly took out a map, compared it with the surroundings for a moment, and then slowly said:
"In this half an hour, we have flown through five city-states, saving about two days of journey... Next, with the blessing of Lady Chloe's strong wind, we can reach Kunlun Mountain in up to seven days."
Huo Qubing was silent for a moment, "In that case, we might as well fly for another two hours..."
"No!"
"no!!"
Before Huo Qubing could finish his words, everyone else refused in unison. Even Hu Jia, a newcomer who had just joined the Evil Suppression Department, mustered up the courage to resist Huo Qubing's proposal as the head of the department while shaking his legs.
"It is true that we can't fly anymore." Lin Qiye said objectively, "After flying for half an hour, this carriage is almost falling apart... If we continue to fly, the carriage and horses will not be able to last for long, and we will have to purchase
New carriages and horses, but the further west you go, the fewer city-states there are, so it’s not easy to find a place to buy these things.”
Huo Qubing thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Lin Qiye's words.
"In this case, let's wait for these horses to slow down and then we can drive off."
After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone dispersed to rest and wait for the horses to recover. Huo Qubing sat alone on the edge of a carriage, looking to the west, wondering what he was thinking.
Wu Quan leaned against a huge rock and looked silently in the direction of Huo Qubing, with a tangled look in his eyes.
After a while, he took a deep breath and took the initiative to walk in the direction of the carriage.
"Master Hou."
Hearing Wu Quan's voice, Huo Qubing retracted his gaze from the distance and looked at this sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
"What's the matter?"
Wu Quan gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Huo Qubing.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qiye in the distance raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise in his eyes, but did not step forward to stop him.
"Please Lord Marquis accept me as your disciple." Wu Quan's voice was firm.
Huo Qubing's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Although the Forbidden Ruins of the Marquis and I are of the same origin, the Marquis's control and understanding of the [Controlling Emperor] is far superior to mine.
[Control Emperor] I was born with shortcomings and my life span is extremely short. My talent is not as good as that of the Marquis. If no one can guide me, I may not be able to reach the realm of the Marquis until my death... If this is the case, I will not be reconciled.
I also want to become as powerful as Lord Marquis... Please teach me, Lord Marquis!"
After finishing his words, Wu Quan kowtowed heavily to Huo Qubing, his voice full of sincerity.
His voice attracted the attention of others, and the crowd, which was originally a little lively, suddenly fell into silence, waiting for Huo Qubing's response.
Lin Qiye looked at Wu Quan's back and sighed, with some relief in his eyes...
The proud, reckless and ruthless boy in Hanshan Orphanage has finally grown up.
Huo Qubing looked at the kneeling figure in front of him and shook his head, "If [Emperor] doesn't kneel [Emperor], why don't you stand up and speak."
"……yes."
Wu Quan stood up from the ground, raised his head and looked at Huo Qubing.
"Do you know why I named this ability [Control the Emperor]?" Huo Qubing spoke slowly.
"I don't know."
"The word 'control' needs no explanation, but the word 'emperor' has two meanings.
First, I hope that with my efforts, it can become the emperor among the many alien abilities, because only the emperor has the qualifications to suppress unrest and command other abilities... The second is to always remind it.
I, my lord, must take it as my duty to protect the people of the world, and must not use this ability in a wrong way.
If you don’t have the heart to defend the frontier and protect the people, how can you call yourself an ‘emperor’? If you don’t have this long-cherished wish to pursue in your life, how can you force yourself to keep moving forward?”
After Huo Qubing finished speaking, he looked into Wu Quan's eyes and spoke word by word:
"Wuquan, you also bear the name of 'Emperor'. Tell me, what is the long-cherished wish you have been pursuing in this life...?"
